DAP Karpal tells Ramasamy to quit deputy CM post

(NEW STRAITS TIMES) – DAP national chairman Karpal Singh has called on the party’s deputy secretary-general Dr P Ramasamy to step down as Penang deputy chief minister II.

Karpal said the Prai member of parliament should do so on his own for defying the Central Executive Committee (CEC) order not to make any public statemant and attacking party leaders openly.

“Ramasamy’s position as the deputy chief minister has now become untenable and the ball is now in his court to react to my statement,” said Karpal at a Press conference here today.

Karpal added that Ramasamy should disclose the grassroot leaders whom he had accused of plotting against him for not responding to their overtures for projects and favours.

“I challenge him to report to the police as well as the MACC (Malaysian anti-Corruption Commission) if he has evidence of those he had alleged were involved in making the demands to him.

“He has failed in his duty as the deputy chief minister by not reporting them to the relevant authorities,” he said.
